The Florida Trip
(The Everglades)

My friend Tracy and I went to the Everglades to see gators in their natural habitat. No fences, cages or anything else but air between us and the gators. Unfortunately, because I was working, I was unable to get there before the airboat rides were done for the day. I got some pics of the Everglades, from the dock,  some pics of the airboats, and pics of the flock of peacocks that hang around there. I will make plans to be there earlier next time I go to Ft. Lauderdale.

Here are some pics of the peacocks. If I was considered an appetizer for a gator I certainly wouldn't be hanging around so close to the water.

Really, it was the everglades. A couple of pics from the dock.

So, instead of seeing gators, we went to the Rain Forest Cafe. What a COOL place!
